In Lea Michele's arresting debut single, "Cannonball," the "Glee" star sets her vocals to STUN, belting out the lyrics with all of her Broadway-trained might. Seriously, dare we say that the she even approaches Céline Dion-levels of musical feelings-conjuring? SPOILER ALERT: We dare.

Thankfully, the Robert Hales-directed music video matches the powerful song note-for-note. As Ms. Lea finds her way (and herself?) in a once-lavish, abandoned mansion all "Let It Go"-style, the use of light and shadow dazzle without ever overshadowing the clip's star.

Yes, for who knows how long, we've not given the word "cannonball" the full flourish it deserves. To fully venerate this brave, high-flying, apparently metaphor-friendly noun, you've gotta dig deep down inside, tap into your Broadway enunciation bone (kinda like doing your Kegels, but more jazz hands), and let soar a mighty, resounding "CAH-NONE-BALL"!
